Comedy actor Peter Butterworth is undoubtedly best-loved as an integral member of the Carry On team, appearing in sixteen of the film classics as well as an eighteen-month run in the West End, seaside summer season, television situation comedy and Christmas specials.
But behind the cheeky innuendo and hilarious slapstick,
Butterworth had endured a secret war of prison camp hardship, daring escape
plans, and unsung bravery. Peter's actor and producer
son Tyler, reveals the fascinating truth of his father's war and the road to
comedy success.
After the presentation, in conversation with comedy
historian Robert Ross, Tyler, star of Mike & Angelo and The Darling Buds
of May, will discuss his own career as well as those of his extraordinary
parents, Janet Brown and Peter Butterworth.
